if you're on my Christmas list, best not read this!

How is your Christmas sewing coming along?

I really thought I was not going to make it in time! I was starting to get a little short and snappy bitchy over the last week, frantically glancing over an enormous 'to do' list feeling overwhelmed and inadequate.
So I decided a self intervention was in order and I bought some gifts - yup clutch your pearls ladies, I didn't shop on Etsy either but hit the department stores -gasp!
Rest assured though, there also will be plenty of handmade under the tree this year ;-)

I am torn between wanting to show off what I have made and knowing my lovelies do occasionally glance over my blog. So I am opting for tiny sneak peeks as not to spoil too much of the surprise.

Last warning, if you are on my list this Christmas click away now!

There will be a few of these,

this,

and this

another one done,

and a few of these

Come April next year, remind me to start on my Christmas present early, will you? ;-)

I'm laughing because I'm in exactly the same boat (although I haven't actually hit any shops yet as I won't be paid till Friday o.O) Today may be the deal breaker in how much shopping I'll have to do. Guess, I'd best get to it...

Leila...start your Christmas sewing early! Oh April...I will forget to remind you by then. I started early and I am still not finished...I think I was a bit done with it by September. Merry Christmas!!!

The last few Christmases I have been sewing right up to the deadline, this year I suggested we support our local book shop who are amazing and deserve supporting. I was stitching binding on a birthday quilt that had to be posted last Saturday, made it just in time. Your sneak peeks are fun and lovely!
